BEYOND SPLASH

Cuculus canorus    32 cm


Also:  | Buzzards | Cuckoo | Eagles |


It's really the sound of Spring, to hear the "cuckoo - cuckoo - cuckoo" from across the valley or somewhere through the trees. There are a lo of Cuckoos in Beyond, but usually only to hear them, as they are very hard to see. If you do see a Cuckoo, it might be just a streak of bluish-grey flying low through the trees. Seen higher, the Cuckoo is similar to a Sparrowhawk, but has more pointed wings and a graduated tail with rounded end.

Habitat

just about anywhere in Beyond (and western Europe), but especially in forests, fields and farmlands.
